Unit 1 Food matters 话题阅读精练 单元引言解读 Food is as fundamental to man as the people are to the state. —Chen Shou 释义: 国以民为本, 民以食为天。 ——陈寿 时文拓展阅读 Food is an essential part of our lives, not just for survival but also for cultural and social reasons. In Italy, pasta is more than just a dish. There are various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, and ravioli. Each region in Italy has its own unique pasta recipes and cooking styles. Spaghetti is often paired with tomato - based sauces, while penne might go well with a meat - based sauce. The Italians take great pride in their pasta - making traditions. Families pass down recipes from generation to generation. Making pasta from scratch is a time - consuming but rewarding process. It involves mixing flour, eggs, and sometimes water to create the dough, and then shaping it into different forms. In contrast, Japanese cuisine is known for its fresh and delicate flavors. Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. The key to good sushi lies in the quality of the ingredients. The fish needs to be extremely fresh, and the rice should be cooked to the perfect texture. Moreover, food can also bring people together. In many cultures, sharing a meal is a way to strengthen relationships. Whether it's a big family dinner in China during the Spring Festival or a barbecue with friends in the United States, food plays an important role in social gatherings. 语篇翻译： 食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。在意大利，意大利面不仅仅是一道菜肴。意大利面有多种类型，比如意大利细面条、直管面和意大利方形饺。意大利的每个地区都有其独特的意大利面食谱和烹饪风格。意大利细面条通常搭配番茄酱，而直管面可能与肉酱搭配得很好。 意大利人对他们制作意大利面的传统深感自豪。家庭将食谱代代相传。从零开始制作意大利面是一个耗时但值得的过程。这包括将面粉、鸡蛋，有时还有水混合制成面团，然后将其塑造成不同的形状。 相比之下，日本料理以其新鲜和细腻的口味而闻名。寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。美味寿司的关键在于食材的质量。鱼需要非常新鲜，米饭的口感也要恰到好处。 此外，食物还能把人们聚集在一起。在许多文化中，共享一顿饭是加强人际关系的一种方式。无论是中国春节期间的家庭聚餐，还是美国朋友间的烧烤聚会，食物在社交场合中都扮演着重要角色。 重点词汇： essential [ɪˈsenʃl] adj. 基本的；必要的 pasta [ˈpæstə] n. 意大利面 recipe [ˈresəpi] n. 食谱；秘诀 cuisine [kwɪˈziːn] n. 烹饪；菜肴 delicate [ˈdelɪkət] adj. 精致的；细腻的 ingredient [ɪnˈɡriːdiənt] n. 原料；要素 texture [ˈtekstʃə(r)] n. 质地；口感 长难句分析： Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. 抓标志：关系代词 that。 判类型：主句(Sushi is a popular Japanese dish) + 定语从句(that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice)，修饰先行词 dish。 试翻译：寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。 高考真题链接 (2025·浙江·高考真题B篇)When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory.

The Chinese people have developed many traditional foods through their long history and also led to a rich and diverse food culture. Due to the geographical environment, there are some dietary and cultural differences between Northern and Southern China. Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers. Northeast Chinese dishes feature large quantity and fullness, which may come from the heroic characteristics of the Northeast people. Located in the southern part of China, Guangdong is a relatively warm and humid(潮湿的) region. Due to the climate, the leading food in Guangdong has been tropical crops such as rice since ancient times. The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch(淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp. Sichuan is located in the middle of China. Its main geographical feature is the Sichuan Basin. The basin nature of Sichuan means that it is surrounded by high mountains with high temperatures and humidity. Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one. Chicken, salt, peppers and other simple ingredients can cook a deliciously spicy meal. The spicy flavor can also stimulate people’s appetite. 1. What do we know about the crops used in Di San Xian from paragraph 2? A. They are very easy to cook. B. They are native to Northeast China. C. They are resistant to cold weather. D. They are cheaper than other vegetables. 2. Which aspect of Chang Fen does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its true origin. B. Its health benefits. C. Its cooking process. D. Its major features. 3. What role did the introduction of peppers play in Sichuan? A. It led to the popularity of spicy dishes there. B. It caused a decline in traditional Sichuan cuisine. C. It transformed Sichuan into a major spice exporter. D. It made Sichuan cuisine popular in Northern China. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. Every country has its own unique food. B. Each place has its geographical features. C. People have different consumption habits. D. Geography can affect people’s dietary habits. Passage 2 (广东省深圳市龙华区2024-2025学年高二上学期期末英语试题)What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? Perpetual(永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated. Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew. 5. What do we know about perpetual stew? A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked. C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions. 6. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2? A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history. C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles. 7. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage? A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition. C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness. 8. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical. Passage 3 (河北省衡水市枣强中学2024-2025学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题)The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to our personality, character and culture. Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true. America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, favored with hot red peppers. This is probably not a genuine Chinese recipe, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love bold, simple flavor. And since the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods. Later, I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend. We had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten. With this, we had the gaiety of experiencing an entirely new taste: Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered to us. We soon moved to Shandong Province in the eastern part of North China. My favorite dish there was boiled dumplings served with vinegar. I observed that family is important to the people there. It has become a favorite traditional dish of the people in North China, where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone — from the youngest to the oldest — joining in to help. Later, I learned that another famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions. 9. Which of the following can we learn about Americans from General Tso’s chicken? A. They prefer complicated flavors. B. They dislike sweet and spicy food. C. They are open to new food experiences. D. They stick to traditional Chinese recipes. 10. What does the underlined word “gaiety” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Pleasure. B. Regret. C. Calmness. D. Embarrassment. 11. In Shandong Province, what is special about making dumplings? A. It is only for special festivals. B. It is usually done by professional chefs. C. Only the elderly are allowed to make them. D. It is a family activity that everyone participates in. 12. What is the text mainly focused on? A. Tasty Chinese cuisines. B. Food reflecting culture. C. The author’s travel experiences in China. D. The difference between Chinese food and American food. Passage 4 (广东省汕尾市2024-2025学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题)Did you know that 1.3 billion metric tons of food waste is produced yearly around the world? Did you also know that a charity in Copenhagen has come up with an incredible way to tackle this unbelievable amount of waste? The rumors are true — the world’s first ever food surplus supermarket has opened in Copenhagen. The store, WeFood, aims to reduce the 700,000 tons of food waste created by Denmark’s population yearly, by selling surplus foods at 30 to 50 per cent cheaper than average supermarkets. The only catch? The food is past its official expiry(到期) date or has damaged packaging that would’ve caused it to be thrown away at a regular store. WeFood has formed working arrangements with major supermarket chains, butchers and fruit importers across Denmark to collect leftover food for sale at the surplus supermarket. The volunteer based initiative hopes to attract both low-income individuals and environmentally conscious shoppers, and has been receiving incredible international praise since it opened its doors on Feb. 21st. As a nation, Denmark has already been doing a good job cleaning up its food waste act. The country bins 25 per cent less food than it did five years ago, and has put pressure on many of its supermarkets to sell food near its expiration date at lower prices. On a wider European level, Denmark’s neighbor, France, has recently banned supermarkets from throwing away unsold food, forcing stores to donate unwanted food to charities and food banks. While this is all amazing news, the global fight to end food wastage is far from over, with food waste increasing by 50 per cent in the US since 1990. However, we need projects like WeFood to offer the much needed inspiration on the matter, and to urge other nations to take a look at their own food waste situations. 13. What is the main purpose of WeFood supermarket? A. To provide luxury food at low prices. B. To compete with regular supermarkets. C. To reduce food waste by selling surplus. D. To replace traditional charity food banks. 14. What does “catch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refusal. B. Disadvantage. C. Importance. D. Characteristic. 15. What measure has France taken to address food waste? A. Redistributing unsold food. B. Fining households for wasting food. C. Taxing expired food heavily. D. Building more surplus supermarkets. 16. What is the author’s attitude toward global food waste reduction? A. Pessimistic due to US data. B. Satisfied with Denmark’s progress. C. Indifferent to individual actions. D. Hopeful but acknowledging challenges. Passage 5 (2024-2025学年安徽省阜阳市临泉县临泉田家炳实验中学(临泉县教师进修学校)高二下学期6月月考英语试题)For hundreds of years, possibly much longer, hot pot has always been one of China’s most popular foods. It is so popular that people joke any problem can be solved over hot pot. With a hot pot, you can put in any ingredient(食材) that you like. The same pot can serve meals to all the people sitting around the table. No one is left out, and everyone gets to eat as much or as little as they want. 1 The fire from a hot pot can melt just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Perhaps the most popular kind of hot pot is Sichuan hot pot, with its spicy red peppers. What makes Sichuan hot pot different from other hot pots is the use of huajiao. 2 It also has the strange effect of making the red peppers taste even hotter. Nearly as famous as Sichuan hot pot is Beijing hot pot. Beijing hot pot uses lamb and many of the same ingredients as Sichuan hot pot, but has a lighter taste. The Northeast Chinese hot pot usually contains pork and pickled cabbage, while Guangdong hot pot uses a chicken or a fish broth(汤底). 3 In every city and town in China, there are hot pot restaurants crowded with people eating, talking and laughing. 4 You can choose your own favorite ingredients. 5 First, buy a Chinese hot pot broth mix from an Asian market. And you need a large pot. More importantly, you need to have some friends to share your food with. A. This spice is mouth-numbing. B. Even in the West, you can easily make it. C. And it is easy to cook hot pot in your own house. D. It is almost the representative of Chinese hot pot. E. Sichuan food is famous for its red peppers and huajiao. F. It is known for its wide range of ingredients, including seafood. G. This shows the Chinese cultural values of openness and sharing. Passage 6 (2024-2025学年福建省三明第一中学高二下学期6月月考英语试题)Being one of the most varied foods, eggs are a great addition to any diet. Not only are they easier to add to just about any meal, but they are also incredibly nutritious and support overall health. 6 You may experience better brain function. Eggs provide choline — a key substance that enhances communication between brain cells, ensuring messages are delivered efficiently like a well-organized delivery system. Thus, eating eggs regularly can strengthen your memory. 7 What’s more, the nutrients in eggs act like brain fuel, keeping you focused during classes or while doing homework. You may have healthier eyes. Eating eggs helps protect your eyes with natural substances that act as natural sunglasses, blocking harmful light like screen blue light. Egg yolks contain more eye guarding nutrients than carrots, reducing eye fatigue(疲劳) during study sessions. 8 You can have stronger muscles and bones. Eggs provide quality protein for muscle repair after exercise, while their vitamin D works with other nutrients like calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones. 9 Regular consumption supports muscle growth during daily activities and keeps bones strong. 10 It may seem like other foods are much better at making you feel full, but eggs are actually an excellent selection. They are the ideal mix of protein and fat and can be extremely satisfying and filling. By consuming more eggs, you are able to significantly decrease short term food and snacks. A. You can get more energy quickly. B. You can feel satisfied for longer time. C. Eggs are a good source when you’re busy. D. So regular egg consumption helps maintain clear vision. E. They can help maintain bone structure and prevent weakness. F. This makes it easier to remember school lessons or daily tasks. G. When you eat eggs every day, this is what happens to your body. Passage 7 (2024-2025学年浙江省嘉兴市高二下学期6月期末英语试题)For all of elementary and middle school, and most of high school, I ate school lunch in the cafeteria. School lunch is a touchy issue. There’re a lot of negative feelings toward it and a general 1 with the lunch system — a lot of it is processed, and operating budgets are tiny. However, I have quite 2 memories and learned a lot from eating in the cafeteria. What was the food like? Chicken nuggets, corn dogs, and chicken patties were some of my personal 3 . And don’t even get me started on the 4 among the kids when it was chocolate milk day! I was also 5 to a lot of different foods. They obviously weren’t the 6 versions, but to me, it was such a 7 change from the foods I ate outside of school. I enjoyed the 8 of picking up the plastic lunch container, learned to 9 say thank you to the people serving, and 10 the use of the single-used forks and spoons. It was also fun to either 11 with friends about the cafeteria foods we didn’t like, or try to 12 to the cafeteria early on the days we liked the food. In high school, I had friends who 13 in the kitchen for pocket change, and for most of them, it was their very first 14 .

One snowy December day, I wandered out of my New York apartment and 16 for a grocery store on Third Ave. Behind me someone shouted, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to 17 an annoyed woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity(荒谬) of the moment 18 me — why must someone buy peaches in the middle of winter? I was already 19 of the issues facing the food system: industrialized farming destroying our soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens 20 in making the right buying decisions, and the 21 of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets, schools and hospitals, to name a few. But this moment underscored our serious 22 with nature and its seasons. We had 23 the idea that food could and should be eaten any time of the year. Too terrible! An inner voice whispered: “Do something to 24 seasonal flavour into people’s lives.” After graduation, 25 by the skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and energy of the Big Apple, I landed a decent job with a 26 salary, managing financial investment for clients. Yet my work was stuck in an undercurrent of greed that I struggled to 27 . Now it was time. I was 28 my 40s. If I did not act now, it would be too late. An urgency 29 and food became my “North Star”.

Known as “leftover food blind boxes”, these innovative meal options provide a convenient and affordable way 2 (enjoy) delicious food while also reducing food waste.

Its goal is to fight against food waste by offering surplus(剩余的) unsold food from nearby stores and restaurants 5 a reduced price. Inspired by videos posted by Chinese creators living abroad 6 shared their experiences, Chinese consumers and businesses have quickly accepted the idea, 7 (lead) to similar operations in major Chinese cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu.

However, the latter option is less common. The contents of the blind boxes are often only revealed upon opening, adding 10 element of surprise to the dining experience. Passage 10 (2024-2025学年广东省汕尾市高二下学期7月期末英语试题)Australian cuisine reflects the country’s unique geography, with a focus on red meat like kangaroo and plentiful seafood. Barbecues, or “barbies”, are a 11 (culture) cornerstone, bringing people together over mixed grills(烧烤). However, Australia’s food scene has also been deeply influenced by Chinese immigration(移民) since the 1800s. Chinese cuisine, adapted to local tastes, 12 (be) now one of Australia’s most popular cuisines. Early Chinese immigrants, many 13 Guangdong, married time-honored techniques with 14 (local) sourced foods, creating dishes like sweet and sour pork and dim sim — a 15 (fry) dumpling invented in Melbourne. While these adaptations appealed to Western 16 (preference), traditional Chinese dishes like congee and BBQ suckling pig also maintained strong popularity. Today, Chinese-Australian chefs like Victor Liang 17 (modern) these traditions, exploring regional Chinese flavors. Supermarkets now supply traditional Chinese provisions, while 18 tradition of shared-table dining has left its mark on Australian 19 (eat) habits. From Sydney’s fish markets to suburban barbecues, the interplay between Australian 20 Chinese flavors celebrates diversity, proving that food can bridge cultures deliciously.

In Italy, pasta is more than just a dish. There are various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, penne, and ravioli. Each region in Italy has its own unique pasta recipes and cooking styles. Spaghetti is often paired with tomato - based sauces, while penne might go well with a meat - based sauce. The Italians take great pride in their pasta - making traditions. Families pass down recipes from generation to generation. Making pasta from scratch is a time - consuming but rewarding process. It involves mixing flour, eggs, and sometimes water to create the dough, and then shaping it into different forms. In contrast, Japanese cuisine is known for its fresh and delicate flavors. Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. The key to good sushi lies in the quality of the ingredients. The fish needs to be extremely fresh, and the rice should be cooked to the perfect texture. Moreover, food can also bring people together. In many cultures, sharing a meal is a way to strengthen relationships. Whether it's a big family dinner in China during the Spring Festival or a barbecue with friends in the United States, food plays an important role in social gatherings. 语篇翻译： 食物是我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，它不仅关乎生存，还具有文化和社会意义。在意大利，意大利面不仅仅是一道菜肴。意大利面有多种类型，比如意大利细面条、直管面和意大利方形饺。意大利的每个地区都有其独特的意大利面食谱和烹饪风格。意大利细面条通常搭配番茄酱，而直管面可能与肉酱搭配得很好。 意大利人对他们制作意大利面的传统深感自豪。家庭将食谱代代相传。从零开始制作意大利面是一个耗时但值得的过程。这包括将面粉、鸡蛋，有时还有水混合制成面团，然后将其塑造成不同的形状。 相比之下，日本料理以其新鲜和细腻的口味而闻名。寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。美味寿司的关键在于食材的质量。鱼需要非常新鲜，米饭的口感也要恰到好处。 此外，食物还能把人们聚集在一起。在许多文化中，共享一顿饭是加强人际关系的一种方式。无论是中国春节期间的家庭聚餐，还是美国朋友间的烧烤聚会，食物在社交场合中都扮演着重要角色。 重点词汇： essential [ɪˈsenʃl] adj. 基本的；必要的 pasta [ˈpæstə] n. 意大利面 recipe [ˈresəpi] n. 食谱；秘诀 cuisine [kwɪˈziːn] n. 烹饪；菜肴 delicate [ˈdelɪkət] adj. 精致的；细腻的 ingredient [ɪnˈɡriːdiənt] n. 原料；要素 texture [ˈtekstʃə(r)] n. 质地；口感 长难句分析： Sushi is a popular Japanese dish that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice. 抓标志：关系代词 that。 判类型：主句(Sushi is a popular Japanese dish) + 定语从句(that consists of raw fish or other seafood on top of vinegared rice)，修饰先行词 dish。 试翻译：寿司是一种受欢迎的日本美食，由生鱼片或其他海鲜放在醋饭上组成。 高考真题链接 (2025·浙江·高考真题B篇)When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.” Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.” I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.” 24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph? A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed. C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats. 25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of? A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times. C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes. 26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”? A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids. C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes. 27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following? A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory. 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者自己因童年时被灌输饮食观念而影响了与食物的关系，心理学家建议家长在饮食上少干预，作者尝试策略后发现孩子能做更好的饮食决策。 24. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候，我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知，作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响，由此可推断出，作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选B项。 25. C 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法，食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面，有很多事情值得深入讨论，但我不认为食物是其中之一，”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感，这并不健康。”)”可知，马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题，而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题，所以马基不会赞成。故选C项。 26. A 细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即‘责任划分’，在这个概念中，家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多)”可知，根据“责任划分”，孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选A项。 27. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略，我发现当我不那么严格限制时，他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知，孩子们确实会做出更好的决策，所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选C项。 ( Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. 抓标志： 关系副词 “where” ；并列连词 “and” ；从属连词 “even if” 判类型： 主句 ( she recommends applying...called the “Division of Responsibility” ) 后接定语从句 ( where...carrots ) ，定语从句由 and 连接的两个并列分句组成 ( parents provide... 和 the kids themselves decide... ) ，第二个分句中包含宾语从句 ( what and how much they want to consume ) ；破折号后是让步状语从句 ( even if that means...carrots ) 试翻译： 相反，她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念，即 “ 责任划分 ” ，在这个概念中，父母在固定时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物，而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝卜多。 ) ( mess up 搞砸；破坏 take years to overcome 花多年时间克服 connect...with... 把…… 和…… 联系起来 dissuade sb. from... 劝阻某人做…… have an unintentionally negative impact 产生无意的负面影响 talk through 充分讨论；详细探讨 create worries and insecurities 造成担忧和不安全感 a variety of 各种各样的 fixed times 固定时间 have control over 对…… 有控制权 try out strategies 尝试策略 less restrictive 不那么严格限制 ) 综合实战演练 Passage 1 (山东省菏泽市2024-2025学年高二下学期4月期中考试英语试题)Different dietary habits and food consumption have their own geographical(地理的) distribution, especially in China. The Chinese people have developed many traditional foods through their long history and also led to a rich and diverse food culture. Due to the geographical environment, there are some dietary and cultural differences between Northern and Southern China. Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers. Northeast Chinese dishes feature large quantity and fullness, which may come from the heroic characteristics of the Northeast people. Located in the southern part of China, Guangdong is a relatively warm and humid(潮湿的) region. Due to the climate, the leading food in Guangdong has been tropical crops such as rice since ancient times. The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch(淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp. Sichuan is located in the middle of China. Its main geographical feature is the Sichuan Basin. The basin nature of Sichuan means that it is surrounded by high mountains with high temperatures and humidity. Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one. Chicken, salt, peppers and other simple ingredients can cook a deliciously spicy meal. The spicy flavor can also stimulate people’s appetite. 1. What do we know about the crops used in Di San Xian from paragraph 2? A. They are very easy to cook. B. They are native to Northeast China. C. They are resistant to cold weather. D. They are cheaper than other vegetables. 2. Which aspect of Chang Fen does paragraph 3 focus on? A. Its true origin. B. Its health benefits. C. Its cooking process. D. Its major features. 3. What role did the introduction of peppers play in Sichuan? A. It led to the popularity of spicy dishes there. B. It caused a decline in traditional Sichuan cuisine. C. It transformed Sichuan into a major spice exporter. D. It made Sichuan cuisine popular in Northern China. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. Every country has its own unique food. B. Each place has its geographical features. C. People have different consumption habits. D. Geography can affect people’s dietary habits. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国不同地区由于地理环境的差异，形成了不同的饮食习惯和饮食文化，通过举例东北、广东、四川等地的特色食物，说明了地理环境对饮食的影响。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Because of the cold and the vastness of the plain, Northeast China grow many cold-resistant crops, which become the base for Northeastern cuisine. Di San Xian is the most distinctive dish in Northeast China, which consists of potatoes, eggplants and green peppers.(由于寒冷的气候和平原的广袤，中国东北种植了许多耐寒作物，这些作物成为了东北菜的基础。地三鲜是中国东北最具特色的菜肴，由土豆、茄子和青椒组成)”可知，用于制作地三鲜的作物是耐寒的。故选C。 2. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The steamed rice noodle roll or Chang Fen, a traditional Cantonese food, has several characteristics brought by the geographical environment of Guangdong. In this dish, starch (淀粉), rice flour and water are mixed to form a paste. Then the paste is spread across a multi-layered box or cloth to steam and enhanced with meat, fish or shrimp.(肠粉，一种传统的广东食物，具有广东地理环境带来的几个特点。在这道菜中，淀粉、米粉和水混合形成面糊。然后将面糊铺在多层盒子或布上蒸制，并加入肉、鱼或虾来提升口感)”可知，该段重点描述了肠粉的制作过程。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“Since peppers were introduced into China, Sichuan has been the capital of spicy food in China because its unique geographical environment is very suitable for the growth of peppers. Peppers are often used to cook Sichuan dishes, and chicken with chilies, or La Zi Ji, is a popular one.(自从辣椒传入中国以来，四川一直是中国的辣味美食之都，因为其独特的地理环境非常适合辣椒的生长。辣椒经常被用于烹饪四川菜，辣子鸡就是一道很受欢迎的菜)”可知，辣椒的引入使得四川的辣味菜肴流行起来。故选A。 4. 主旨大意题。文章开篇指出不同的饮食习惯和食物消费有各自的地理分布，尤其是在中国，由于地理环境的原因，中国南北存在饮食和文化差异，然后分别举例东北、广东、四川的特色食物及其与地理环境的关系。D 选项“Geography can affect people’s dietary habits.”(地理会影响人们的饮食习惯)，符合文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 2 (广东省深圳市龙华区2024-2025学年高二上学期期末英语试题)What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup? Perpetual(永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated. Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew. 5. What do we know about perpetual stew? A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked. C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions. 6. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2? A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history. C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles. 7. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage? A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition. C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness. 8. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical. 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“永久炖菜”，即一种持续加热、不断添加新食材的烹饪方式，并列举了其历史、各种形式以及关于其安全性的争议。 5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perpetual(永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. (永久炖菜是一种从未停止加热、也从未完成的菜肴。随着部分被食用，新的食材会被加入锅中以替换被吃掉的部分。一天的炖菜会成为接下来几天餐食的基础)”可知，永久炖菜的特点是持续烹饪。故选B项。 6. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. (今年，Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜在社交媒体上引起了轰动。曼谷一家餐厅声称，他们的牛肉面汤从20世纪70年代就开始持续烹饪。有人认为，永久炖菜是中世纪欧洲的传统，当时生火需要耗费大量精力，因此火会整天燃烧，而一锅炖菜则始终在其上缓慢沸腾。《纽约时报》的一篇文章提到，诺曼底有一锅炖菜持续烹饪了300年)”可知，这里列举了各地的永久炖菜，包括Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜、曼谷一家餐厅的牛肉面汤以及诺曼底持续烹饪300年的炖菜。这些例子展示了永久炖菜丰富多样的形式。故选A项。 7. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated. (人们还担心，一些蔬菜，如土豆或含有硝酸盐的蔬菜，加热得越久，毒性就越大)”可知，对永久炖菜的一个担忧是毒性增加。故选D项。 8. 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者在文章中既提到了永久炖菜的历史和各种形式，也讨论了其安全性问题，并未表现出明显的偏好或倾向，而是以客观的(Objective)态度呈现信息。故选C项。 Passage 3 (河北省衡水市枣强中学2024-2025学年高二下学期期末考试英语试题)The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once wrote, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more simply, this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to our personality, character and culture. Certainly, in many ways this seems to be true. America’s most popular Chinese dish is General Tso’s chicken, which consists of fried chicken covered in a sweet sauce, favored with hot red peppers. This is probably not a genuine Chinese recipe, however, so it cannot tell us much about the Chinese. On the other hand, it does tell us a lot about Americans. It tells us, for example, that Americans love bold, simple flavor. And since the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods. Later, I had a chance to experience authentic Chinese food by coming to China. A Sichuan restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend. We had no idea how to order, so the chef just began filling our table with the best food we had ever eaten. With this, we had the gaiety of experiencing an entirely new taste: Sichuan peppercorns. The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered to us. We soon moved to Shandong Province in the eastern part of North China. My favorite dish there was boiled dumplings served with vinegar. I observed that family is important to the people there. It has become a favorite traditional dish of the people in North China, where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone — from the youngest to the oldest — joining in to help. Later, I learned that another famous food in Shandong is pancake rolls stuffed with sliced Chinese green onions. 9. Which of the following can we learn about Americans from General Tso’s chicken? A. They prefer complicated flavors. B. They dislike sweet and spicy food. C. They are open to new food experiences. D. They stick to traditional Chinese recipes. 10. What does the underlined word “gaiety” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Pleasure. B. Regret. C. Calmness. D. Embarrassment. 11. In Shandong Province, what is special about making dumplings? A. It is only for special festivals. B. It is usually done by professional chefs. C. Only the elderly are allowed to make them. D. It is a family activity that everyone participates in. 12. What is the text mainly focused on? A. Tasty Chinese cuisines. B. Food reflecting culture. C. The author’s travel experiences in China. D. The difference between Chinese food and American food. 【答案】9. C 10. A 11. D 12. B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过作者自身的经历说明了饮食和文化之间的关系。 9. 细节理解题。根据第二段“And since the dish was also invented recently, it tells us that Americans are not afraid to try new foods.(而且由于这种菜肴也是最近才出现的，这表明美国人并不害怕尝试新的食物)”可知，美国人乐于尝试新食物，故选C。 10. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The food was wonderful and different, but what was even more important was the friendship offered to us.(食物美味独特，但更重要的是，我们还收获了这份友谊)”可知，作者吃到了美食，收获了友谊，说明体会到了快乐。故划线词意思是“快乐”。故选A。 11. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It has become a favorite traditional dish of the people in North China, where making dumplings has always been a family affair with everyone — from the youngest to the oldest — joining in to help.(它已成为中国北方人最喜欢的传统菜肴，在那里包饺子一直是一项家庭活动，从最小的到最年长的每个人都参与帮忙)”可知，在山东，包饺子是每个人都参加的家庭活动。故选D。 12. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, Brillat-Savarin was actually referring to our personality, character and culture.(然而，布里亚-萨瓦兰实际上指的是我们的个性、性格和文化)”以及后文通过不同地域食物的例子来展现其背后的文化内涵，可知，本文主要讲述的是食物如何反映文化。选项B“食物反映文化”符合文章主旨。故选B。 Passage 4 (广东省汕尾市2024-2025学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题)Did you know that 1.3 billion metric tons of food waste is produced yearly around the world? Did you also know that a charity in Copenhagen has come up with an incredible way to tackle this unbelievable amount of waste? The rumors are true — the world’s first ever food surplus supermarket has opened in Copenhagen. The store, WeFood, aims to reduce the 700,000 tons of food waste created by Denmark’s population yearly, by selling surplus foods at 30 to 50 per cent cheaper than average supermarkets. The only catch? The food is past its official expiry(到期) date or has damaged packaging that would’ve caused it to be thrown away at a regular store. WeFood has formed working arrangements with major supermarket chains, butchers and fruit importers across Denmark to collect leftover food for sale at the surplus supermarket. The volunteer based initiative hopes to attract both low-income individuals and environmentally conscious shoppers, and has been receiving incredible international praise since it opened its doors on Feb. 21st. As a nation, Denmark has already been doing a good job cleaning up its food waste act. The country bins 25 per cent less food than it did five years ago, and has put pressure on many of its supermarkets to sell food near its expiration date at lower prices. On a wider European level, Denmark’s neighbor, France, has recently banned supermarkets from throwing away unsold food, forcing stores to donate unwanted food to charities and food banks. While this is all amazing news, the global fight to end food wastage is far from over, with food waste increasing by 50 per cent in the US since 1990. However, we need projects like WeFood to offer the much needed inspiration on the matter, and to urge other nations to take a look at their own food waste situations. 13. What is the main purpose of WeFood supermarket? A. To provide luxury food at low prices. B. To compete with regular supermarkets. C. To reduce food waste by selling surplus. D. To replace traditional charity food banks. 14. What does “catch” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Refusal. B. Disadvantage. C. Importance. D. Characteristic. 15. What measure has France taken to address food waste? A. Redistributing unsold food. B. Fining households for wasting food. C. Taxing expired food heavily. D. Building more surplus supermarkets. 16. What is the author’s attitude toward global food waste reduction? A. Pessimistic due to US data. B. Satisfied with Denmark’s progress. C. Indifferent to individual actions. D. Hopeful but acknowledging challenges. 【答案】13. C 14. B 15. A 16. D 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了哥本哈根慈善超市WeFood通过销售过期或包装破损的剩余食品来减少食物浪费的创新举措。 13. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The store, WeFood, aims to reduce the 700,000 tons of food waste created by Denmark’s population yearly, by selling surplus foods at 30 to 50 per cent cheaper than average supermarkets.(这家名为WeFood的商店旨在通过以比普通超市便宜30%至50%的价格出售剩余食品，来减少丹麦人口每年产生的70万吨食物浪费)”可知，WeFood超市的主要目的是通过销售剩余食品来减少食物浪费。故选C。 14. 词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词后“The food is past its official expiry (到期) date or has damaged packaging that would’ve caused it to be thrown away at a regular store.(这些食品已经过了官方保质期，或者包装已经损坏)”可知，该超市的食物存在过了保质期或包装破损的情况，这是其不足之处，故划线词与B项disadvantage“缺点，不足”意思相近。故选B。 15. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“On a wider European level, Denmark’s neighbor, France, has recently banned supermarkets from throwing away unsold food, forcing stores to donate unwanted food to charities and food banks.(在更广泛的欧洲范围内，丹麦的邻国法国最近禁止超市丢弃未售出的食品，迫使商店将不需要的食品捐赠给慈善机构和食品银行)”可知，法国通过重新分配未售出的食物来应对食物浪费问题。故选A。 16. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While this is all amazing news, the global fight to end food wastage is far from over, with food waste increasing by 50 per cent in the US since 1990. However, we need projects like WeFood to offer the much needed inspiration on the matter, and to urge other nations to take a look at their own food waste situations.(虽然这些都是令人惊叹的消息，但全球结束食物浪费的斗争还远未结束，自1990年以来，美国的食物浪费增加了50%。然而，我们需要像WeFood这样的项目来提供急需的灵感，并敦促其他国家审视自己的食物浪费情况)”可知，作者认为虽然有好消息，但全球减少食物浪费的斗争仍未结束，同时也寄希望于类似WeFood的项目，所以作者的态度是充满希望但也承认挑战。故选D。 Passage 5 (2024-2025学年安徽省阜阳市临泉县临泉田家炳实验中学(临泉县教师进修学校)高二下学期6月月考英语试题)For hundreds of years, possibly much longer, hot pot has always been one of China’s most popular foods.

Not only are they easier to add to just about any meal, but they are also incredibly nutritious and support overall health. 6 You may experience better brain function. Eggs provide choline — a key substance that enhances communication between brain cells, ensuring messages are delivered efficiently like a well-organized delivery system. Thus, eating eggs regularly can strengthen your memory. 7 What’s more, the nutrients in eggs act like brain fuel, keeping you focused during classes or while doing homework. You may have healthier eyes. Eating eggs helps protect your eyes with natural substances that act as natural sunglasses, blocking harmful light like screen blue light. Egg yolks contain more eye guarding nutrients than carrots, reducing eye fatigue(疲劳) during study sessions. 8 You can have stronger muscles and bones. Eggs provide quality protein for muscle repair after exercise, while their vitamin D works with other nutrients like calcium and phosphorus to strengthen bones. 9 Regular consumption supports muscle growth during daily activities and keeps bones strong. 10 It may seem like other foods are much better at making you feel full, but eggs are actually an excellent selection. They are the ideal mix of protein and fat and can be extremely satisfying and filling. By consuming more eggs, you are able to significantly decrease short term food and snacks. A. You can get more energy quickly. B. You can feel satisfied for longer time. C. Eggs are a good source when you’re busy. D. So regular egg consumption helps maintain clear vision. E.
